Today was my 1st set of appointments. I had my lab work and EKG done and met with the nurse. Then I had my bariatric assessment with the Dr. , followed with the psych eval. All cleared me to go on to the next step. Ok its sinking in this is going to happen.

just had my seminar tonight. my doc is very informative. I look forward to hearing back from him for my next step.

Was the seminar scary for you?

no it wasn't scary. ive been doing alot of research and about 11 co workers have all had the procedure done by the same doctor that im having which is the one that put on the seminar. so I was comfortable going in.

Good to hear.

I look forward to going onto my next step. the doc gave us a folder of info and an outline of what we have to do. it's bout a 3 month process before we get a surgery date. which right now is good for me cause I have to wait for my short term disability to go in effect at work so I can take time off and still get paid. that goes in effect in january. so in the meantime I can do everything the doc needs to be done.

Welcome tat2girl

thank you tmorgan

I am glad you have a positive attitude about the timing process to me that seems the hardest part.

kinda forced to since my short term disability doesn't go into effect til january. but my boyfriend has always told me go about things day by day. this will be a whole new learning experience to take better care of myself and my son as well. my son at the age 10 has been on this journey with me with the eating healthy and going for walks with me. he's a trooper.

Welcome tat. This forum has truly been a Godsend!

That is very wise advise. It is a neat feeling when everyone in the house is supporting you.

nah it's only my son that is being supportive in the house. obviously my boyfriend is as well but he doesn't live here. maybe one day I will go that route of living with him. who knows. I'm in no hurry for anything.

so excited... just got my call for my next steps. meeting with the surgeon next week and the nutritionist on the 29th. looking forward to it.
